Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances; it promises you a better life.

The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change, that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. God’s love is the only thing like that.

God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.

There are some needs only you can see. There are some hands only you can hold. There are some people only you can reach.

The Gospel is that Jesus Christ came to earth, lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died.

To discover the real you, look at what you spend time thinking about when no one is looking.

The Gospel is good news not good advice. Advice = what we should do. News = report of what was done for us.

God looks at the anxious and says, I tore my Son to shreds for you, and you're afraid I will not give you what you need?

---

The basic purpose of prayer is not to bend God's will to mine, but to mold my will into His.

When Job was prospering, he prayed. When he was suffering, he still prayed.
